. . . To Grandmother's House We Go!! by ldeiter78

12/23/09 ~ Featured in Rural Around the Globe ~ Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!! We’ll be heading to “Grandomther’s House” for Christimas Dinner. This is a photo of the home where I grew up, nestled at the base of Peter’s Mountain…. taken from my back door!!! Yes, my Mom’s house is just across the field from where I live now!! Many years ago, a whitetail deer ran across the field when she was walking to our house on Christmas Eve, so it’s a tradition to warn her not to get run over by a Reindeer walking home from our house Christmas Eve!! HA! {that’s true} The morning sky in this photo is natural – taken at dawn – the foreground was combined with a longer exposure because it was still pretty dark outside. Taken 12/20/09, Clarks Valley, Pennsylvania
